Our Story:
Catholics Embracing All God’s Children (CEAGC) is a welcoming faith community where all are invited to grow in faith, friendship, and belonging. We celebrate the dignity of every person, recognizing each individual as a beloved child of God. Whether you are LGBTQ+, a family member, friend, ally, or simply seeking a supportive community, you are welcome here.
Rooted in Catholic teaching, we strive to foster respect, compassion, understanding, and meaningful conversation as we walk together in faith.
CEAGC typically gathers on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in Kelley Hall at St. Joseph Church in Cold Spring. (Meeting dates may vary in November and December due to holiday schedules.)
Those on our email list receive monthly updates with meeting reminders, upcoming events, and resources of interest.
Wherever you are on your faith journey, we invite you to join us. Come as you are, share in conversation and community, and discover a welcoming space where all are valued, supported, and embraced as part of God’s family.
